Learn to disidentify from your mind

The single most vital step on your journey toward enlightenment is this : learn to disidentify from your mind .Every time you create a gap in the stream of mind , the light of your consciousness grows stronger .One day you may catch yourself smiling at the voice in your head , as you would smile at the antics of a child .This means that you no longer take the content of your mind all that seriously ,as your sense of self does not depend on it .

Eckhart Tolle
